Re: [meteorite-list] Idea for list to think about
Why not just put 'meteorite ML' in the ebay description instead of 'Meteorite' Then just 3 extra characters is all it would use, least it would cut out the meteorite caravans, lipsticks, eye shadows, lamps, CD's etc !!

[meteorite-list] Steve Arnold's Impressive Gao Collection
Knock, knock ! You seem to be building quite a collection of Gao! Go get 'em! The next step in his obsession -- head for the strewn field. Hello Steve and List, First off: I must also admit that this is becoming a very impressive, an awesome collection of Gao meteorites! Sincere congratulations! The next best step after displaying them for all of us to see, would or could now be to study them, to compare them, to look at their respective fusion crusts, to describe their individual characteristics, to do a little research on their different degrees of weathering (and maybe even shock stage[s]), the thickness or thinness of their fusion crusts, and so much more and then share your observations with the List. This would give them a life. Of course, you might also consider constructing a special Gao info page: dates of fall / find, classification, history, repositories, strewn field parameters, scientific papers / articles, and, and, and, ... The next step in his obsession -- head for the strewn field. .. Well, why not!? Gao instead of London if the risks involved are not too high! He would surely come back with some personal finds or purchases. Such specimens have an even higher, personal value!

http://www.yorkregion.com/yr/yr4/YR_News/TopStories/story/3911254p-4522725c.html Family sees meteorite hit ground Michael Power Yorkregion.com March 15, 2007 What Richard Yip-Chuck saw fall into a farmer's field Sunday evening looked like a long, white ball with orange sparks shooting off the back. The Holland Landing resident was driving along Hwy. 7 with his wife, Ele, and sons Kyle, 12, and 10-year-old Dylan, when they saw what looked like a fireball plummet to earth. There were sparks coming out of the back, Mr. Yip-Chuck said. It was wild. The bright flashes of light in the sky Sunday led to police switchboards in Toronto, York and Durham regions lighting up with people wondering what was happening. People called saying they had seen a fireball in the sky between 8 and 8:30 p.m. The Yip-Chucks, who were returning from hockey games in Lindsay where both sons play on the same team, saw the meteorite hit a farmers' field west of Lindsay, about an hour from Newmarket. His younger son, Dylan, thought the fireball might have been a UFO, Mr. Yip-Chuck said. He was freaking out, saying, 'We've got to get off the road,' he said. But it was really cool, moving really fast. Whatever was coming off it was really bright. The ball of light at first appeared to be a meteor, but also seemed too large for a falling rock, said Mr. Yip-Chuck's older son, Kyle. The ball looked to be about the size of a car, said Kyle, who plays for the York Simcoe Express AAA hockey team. The meteorite was probably about the size of a fist, given so many people in the GTA were able to see it, said Paul Delaney, a professor of physics and astronomy at York University. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Gao, Gao Gao
Hello Bernd, list, Bernd, thanks much for your wise thoughts and advices. Gao is indeed a very popular meteorite, probably because it is as showy as abundant in weight and (different) shapes. I can understand Steve's falling in love for these. I also second your suggestion, namely that Steve should do more to valorize his Gao collection. This brings me to a question that is probably puzzling most of us since a while. You might not ignore that besides our old good friend Gao (H5) (that actually carries the official name Gao-Guenié), there are 2 other Gaos (or Gao-Guéniés): 1) Gao(b) that is a CR (S1), found by Eric Twelker in a parcel full of normal Gaos sent to him from Burkina Faso. The 2 small stones he got weighed 344 g (Bernd, by the way, a slice of that stuff is just outstanding! I bet you also got one See Eric's site: there are 2 pieces left!) 2) The Gao-melt (H imb) described and put for sale by Eric Olson. This stuff is definitely far different from Gao (H5) in that, when cut, this almost black meteorite shows melts and rivers just as Portales or others. Definitely a weird stuff. See pictures on Eric's site. E. Olson is reporting a tkw of 570+ grams. However, I got a few years ago 3 such Gao-melt individuals from a quite different source (directly from Burkina, not from Eric's source) that are exactly the same. They already showed a weird outline when complete (uncut). Once cut, not only they showed the strange metled parts but also huge vugs, some of which reaching 20+ mm !! E. Olson is anouncing on his site since a time that these are under study. Did someone got more recent news ? Note: my source confirmed thet Gao imb and Gao (H5) are (still being) found on the unique strewnfield. To my knowledge, nothing is known about the place where Gao(b) was found... I suggest Steve starts inquiring about these other 2 Gaos and perhaps envisages to extend his collection to Gao, Gao and Gao. By the way, here are the tkw's I have in my archives: Gao-Guénié (H5): [EMAIL PROTECTED] kg Gao-Guénié (H imb): [EMAIL PROTECTED] g (Olson's site) Gao-Guénié (b) (CR)): 2@@344 g (Twelker's site) Could someone (along with the two Erics) provide an update for these figures ? Thanks and have a nice day all, Zelimir A 16:33 15/03/2007 +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Knock, knock ! You seem to be building quite a collection of Gao! Go get 'em! The next step in his obsession -- head for the strewn field. Hello Steve and List, First off: I must also admit that this is becoming a very impressive, an awesome collection of Gao meteorites! Sincere congratulations! The next best step after displaying them for all of us to see, would or could now be to study them, to compare them, to look at their respective fusion crusts, to describe their individual characteristics, to do a little research on their different degrees of weathering (and maybe even shock stage[s]), the thickness or thinness of their fusion crusts, and so much more and then share your observations with the List. This would give them a life. Of course, you might also consider constructing a special Gao info page: dates of fall / find, classification, history, repositories, strewn field parameters, scientific papers / articles, and, and, and, ... The next step in his obsession -- head for the strewn field. .. Well, why not!? Gao instead of London if the risks involved are not too high! He would surely come back with some personal finds or purchases. Such specimens have an even higher, personal value!

[meteorite-list] eBay filtering tricks
Hi Mark, Since the meteorite category on eBay is huge, filtering is the only way to separate the wheat from the chaff (where one person's wheat could be another's chaff). Peter Marmet has already suggested the use of exclusions and wildcards, e.g. meteorite -rolex -campo -nan* Another approach is to do specific searches for items you DO want. Suppose you're only interested in martian or lunar meteorites. You could use: meteorite (mars, martian, luna*) Voila! A manageable 83 items to scan through. --Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] GAO's
Anyone guesses about the tkw of Gao? I learned that Carion, the master, alone brought 500kgs of Gao during the decades together. Hehe, I have also a Gao(c) oder (d) or (e), in a batch of dusty Gaos from Carion, there was one, which turned out after cutting not to be a Gao, but a different ordinary chondrite, rather an L than a H. Unfortunately it had only 10g, so it still lays around here unclassified. Btw. I personally don't like, if the crust from the more weathered and later finds are pimped to look black again.

Re: [meteorite-list] Suspected Meteorite GoesThroughWindowinIllinois
Hi Chris - I wonder if you could use strewn field data to estimate the porosity of the different types of parent asteroids? good hunting, Ed --- Chris Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well shoot, Doug, it sounds like you've got more time than I to analyze this thing. I do have a modeling tool that calculates the vertical deviation for spherical objects falling in wind, but I haven't tried to apply it here. I don't know how accurate it would be given that this object is far from spherical. I use this tool to estimate strewn field locations following high altitude fragmentations. Just to clarify a point of apparent confusion: I was proposing two completely different mechanisms that could impart a degree of horizontal motion to a falling object. One is largely non-aerodynamic (except in a trivial sense), and involves the object reaching a horizontal zero airspeed (which in a wind means there is a non-zero ground speed). The second is purely aerodynamic, and involves what happens when the object is oriented and possibly tumbling. The first situation isn't too difficult to analyze (we've both touched on parts of that); the second is pretty much impossible to deal with. The test case I alluded to was something I tried at the Roan Cliffs in western Colorado, above Rifle (famous for a meteoritic non-crater that the locals like to show off). There's an interesting spot up top where winds are diverted upward. If you throw a stick over, it drops down and then gets picked up, and can be carried many feet above the cliff top. There's even a waterfall there that goes up when it reaches the edge, and the water just evaporates overhead. But if you drop a flat rock, like the sort you'd skim on a lake, it drops down, and will tumble violently. It may literally look like a leaf falling, and can veer out 10 feet or more, or back into the side of the cliff hard enough to hear when it's hundreds of feet down. A spherical rock just drops straight. I tried this with dozens of different rocks. There's no doubt at all in my mind that something shaped like the Illinois object, traveling at ~50 m/s, could execute some pretty impressive aerial maneuvers. BTW, I'm not particularly arguing that this thing did fall, only considering that it seems plausible.

The heavier the object, the longer it will take to reach that zero airspeed. So if this thing was falling vertically, and then experienced a brief gust, it would hardly be affected. On the other hand, if fell a mile in that wind, I'd expect its ground speed to be close to the wind speed: it wouldn't be falling vertically. This has little to do with aerodynamics. OK Chris, I think I understand your assumptions and note your departure from reliance on aerodynamics which it originally sounded like you were depending upon for your assumptions. Now we are in the upstream/downstream textbook canoe problem. Whether you originally depended on aerodynamics is debatable though while my intuition had a problem with that, I think that is a harder argument for me to critique. Just one comment and I will put some 'hard' numbers to this which I invite you to pick apart if you can (or if not, perhaps use them for your own thoughts). It is also why there can be no apparent relationship between the orientation of a strewn field and the path of the meteor that produced it. I think this is as poor an example as it is an interesting meteorite aside. But I agree that the physics of the wind are at work for this case. My objection: You are comparing the integrated effect of all winds in all directions at all altitudes (for a significant distance) with local atmospheric effects of a relatively unidirectional ''steady wind'. Now for the numbers I promised: This meteorthing has the following characteristics assuming it really is in free fall as you believe (compared to the 60 mph suggested somewhere else, that did not specify it was vt though that had to be the professor's assumption): Let me make a meteorthing terminal speed table showing how long it takes to fall a mile: Shield orientation:38 m/s (86mph)42 sec Average orientation47 m/s (105mph)34 sec Edge first orientation:55 m/s (124mph)29 sec note:

Re: [meteorite-list] Question: Just How ...?
Dear Robert: Missed one! I was a diamond prospector and gold prospector in need of a new metal detector; and I found a White's metal detector dealer just three blocks from my house! My new associate says that I could find a meteorite besides gold and I was all earswith in a minute I was holding a CD of about 3 pounds! I also held a large Campo, and a few other meteorites. For six years this guy was my best buddy in meteorites.but, I found the first Wyoming meteorite between us and still hold that friendly title. He has me on the fulgerites though. Best, Dave Freeman Rock Springs, WY Robert Woolard wrote: Hello List, There was a lot of interest and positive comments on the thread concerning whether or not members still had their first meteorite. I'd like to ask a related question that I think might be interesting. The question is: How did you find out that it was possible to actually BUY a meteorite!? I will list the most likely ways that come to my mind (doubtless there will be others) in no particular order: 1.Magazine AD (such as Astronomy or Sky Telescope) 2.Magazine ARTICLE about collecting meteorites 3.Catalog offering meteorites for sale 4.Internet browsing and accidentally came across 5.TV program, featuring Haag, Farmer, etc. 6.Friend was a collector and got you hooked, too 7.You are a mineral collector, led to meteorites 9.You are a fossil collector, led to meteorites 10.Auction listed meteorites up for bid 11.Other OK, that's about all the ways I can think of right off hand. I hope that the question is of interest. And by the way, MY answer would be #5 above, as I saw a VERY young Robert Haag on the David Letterman show WAY back in 1986. I was thrilled to see that here was a guy who was actually making it possible for me to buy my very own meteorite! I called directory assistance the very next day, got Robert's telephone number, called him, ordered 10 specimens, and what a ride it has been since!! Best wishes, Robert Woolard 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?

I probably would take one or two words from it, now. Patience. But I still remember the insults that I received when the discussion was with me. Many of this so-called meteorite hunters are not far from criminals (at least from a moral perspective), simply taking advantage of the absence of specific legislation in most of the countries, and people`s naivety. Call it enterpreneurs attitude, if you prefer. Some of them were selling hamburguers, or plumbing, before entering into their new scientific activity... I am sorry if I do not simpatize with them. I must add that obviously SOME of them too are great people, with an honest interest and real knowledge on the subject. Those would have much more to say in list than the usual stars. Regards.

Re: [meteorite-list] Misinformation in Meteorite Times Magazine/Nevada Picture of the day/ unreported Nevada meteorites
Adam, Antique applies to cultural artifacts, and artifacts represent sites - places - often without surviving architecture, so must be treated like components of an architecture of events;often, lithics (flaked/ground tools and production waste) and ceramics are the only record of the life of humans in North America and their astonishing survival in extreme environments without the conveniences that we enjoy, which today permit uncontrolled collection for personal gain and vulgar trophies, so should only be removed if threatened, with an interest in dedicated research, and with positional control - as well as permission. These artifacts are not treasure in the commercial sense; we would not remove marble columns from Greek ruins, or stelae from an Egyptian temple. -Thaddeus Adam Hupe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear List, I can understand the reluctance to report meteorite finds in the Mojave with such gray areas in the law surrounding the finds. You can talk to ten different authorities and get ten different answers. A big part of the problem is that there are several overlapping laws, both state and federal that do not seem to address meteorites directly. There is the other problem that some groups make up junk to scare off other hunters. Here are some terms that I find ambiguous at best: Antique - anything over 100 years old. This would apply to water which was brought here by comets billions a years ago or vitually any mineral unless you are searching near an active valcano. Of scientific value - This could apply to dog crap in some circumstances. For non-commercial purposes - This makes sense to me but what happens to the 250 pounds a year of minerals that were pulled from federal land for non-commercial purposes that were deemed legal when somebody passes on? What if the finders offspring has no interest in collecting meteorites and wants to sell them? I was also told that federal agents do monitor eBay for hunters selling Mojave meteorites for commercial purposes. I have no problem with this since I keep all of my finds regardless of what type of treasure hunting I am involved with. The only exception is to return a lost piece of jewelry if the rightful owner can be found or when something has historic value, in which case, I will turn it over to a museum. I have been treasure hunting for 32 years and feel it is better to work with authorities whenever possible. Luckily the treasure hunting community has a code of ethics that saved the hobby which almost went extinct in the 70s because of property abuses. Artifact - I agree that Native American artifacts should be left alone in designated areas, it simply is not worth the consequences of removal. Not only that, they represent very little value to the finder who will probably ending up throwing them in a box and forgetting about them. In this case, I find the hunt to be more exciting than the acquisition. I know it is difficult not to pick up points or shards of pottery when encountered (I know first hand) but feel it would be better to take images of them next to a GPS and report them. After all, the main fun is in the hunt and most of us are after meteorites which are legal to bring out under most circumstances, up to 250 pounds a year if you are lucky. I feel it is better to call ahead and find out what laws govern certain areas before hunting. I found out last week, it is illegal to carry a magnet on a stick into a designated site containing artifacts in California. I was told this while getting a permit to legally enter and camp on Ivanpah. I know a lot of these laws are being twisted to govern meteorites, were written for minerals and have only been enforced once in regards to meteorites but feel it would be better to operate in a open environment until these laws can be challenged in Federal or Supreme Court to clarify them.

Re: [meteorite-list] How to display Your collection ? PolandMET idea !
Very interesting, Marcin! Thanks for share it with us. My only criticism goes to the bright color of the labels. Regards. AA - Original Message - From: PolandMET [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 6:33 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] How to display Your collection ? PolandMET idea ! Hi Tooday I finished my little display stand for my new private meteorite collection, so I want to show You my idea. First, I must explain that I have stop collecting small specimens some time ago. I have from old days around 70 meteorite specimens from a miligrams to 10-20g hiddend into small boxes 58x38x17mm and stored in palets in chet in my room. This specimens have for me historical value becouse several of this pieces are my first meteorite specimens. But in fact this kind of collection is a vaste of material, money and place, becouse this specimens are too small to display for example on wall or to show to normall peoples. Noone will take this kind of collecting seroiously if I will show him for example very rare and importand Orguel 3mm wide or other specimens in size from 5mm to 2cm wide. Ofcourse everyone collecting what he like. I decided that this small pieces make only my collection larger on my specimens inventory list, but not show any educational value to me or to anyone who invite me. Thats why I will sell most of them. I decided to collect less specimens but in size that will fit to my larger acrylic boxes 84x59x24 mm. This gives me chance to own good size specimens that I can display in my room in secured boxes. Yes, display, but how ??? And here comes my idea that I have planned and realized from around 3 months. Project changed several times, sometimes becouse of a costs of some parts, and sometimes becouse I cant find elements that I needed. I usually doing things without any detailed plan. So usually final project is much different from first one. Project: This is 100x100cm big wall stand for 150 meteorite boxes. Main element is 1mm thin aluminum plate with perforation Rv5-8 that help to put all elements together precise in place and make project visualy more hi-tech. It is mounted on a 4mm white ply-wood plate and conected with aluminium plate using aluminium U type profile. Most importand part of my project is 150x 20mm wide neodynum magnets that holds on place meteorite boxes. Boxes with meteorites have small 1mm thin iron plate on bottom side, under layers of sponge. This is good becouse boxes can be takeed from my stand very easy, but they still sit on place using force beetween magnets and iron plate. This stand, when will be full, then will corelate with my mega poster of Sahara meteorites composed from reference cards from Sahara Meteorite Prospecting CD-Rom. From left will be photos and classifications of many Sahara finds, and from right my collection of real specimens that anyone can watch and touch.

[meteorite-list] Very special ad - Burnwell, KY
Hi everyone, I know I haven't been active in the meteorite community lately due to work and family obligations but I'm here today to raise a bit of money by selling one of the crown jewels of my collection; a 4.1g slice of Burnwell. For those of you unfamiliar with Burnwell, depending on where you read about it, it is classified as either an anomalous H4 or HH4. Yes, HH4. There is a total of one of these in the world and it hit a house in Burnwell, KY USAon September 4, 1990 and a total of around 3kg TKW. Almost all of this meteorite is in the Smithsonian. I say almost all of it because in 2001 I was lucky enough to be the only person to receive part of it (a little over 12g). I had it cut up and sold or traded most of it away to other collectors while keeping the largest portion of it for myself. This piece has beautiful dark crust on one edge as well as a Smithsonian number painted on it. There is NO weathering on it at all and it looks like a stone that fell yesterday. The many visible chondrules (some armored) are easy to spot and truth be told, I'm kind of surprised that this was classified as a HH4 and not an HH3. Other than cutting it has been treated by expert Jim Hartman to prevent any aging and has been in a membrane case for the past 5 years. I will also include the shipping papers from the Smithsonian so you can track the ownership from space to your door. To read more about how the Smithsonian obtained this meteorite read here http://www.agiweb.org/geotimes/dec99/feature.html For those of you wary of purchasing a meteorite from someone you may not know, check out the IMCA's site at http://imca.cc/insights/2006/IMCA-Insights01.htm to read about how I helped form the association. Put simply, this is the largest privately owned piece of an entire class of meteorite that has hit a house in America, has excellent pedigree, and is simply beautiful. How often does a chance like this come up? Asking price is $8,000. I'll pay for first class insured shipping to your door. If interested please feel free to call me at 812-484-8369 at any time or write back to me. This offer stands until noon March 15, 2007, Eastern Standard Time.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question: Just How ...?
Robert and all, My story is a little twisted and includes some good educational insights. As a field geologist, I saw everyone's curiosity rocks. I skipped work to go visit meteorite (wannabe) craters that suddenly appeared in fields. My first quality meteorwrong was a big hunk of the infamous Montana elk hunter find, reputedly miles from nowhere, packed out on horseback, and ultimately given to me. It turned out to be cohenite, an iron carbide, that had actually been reported in meteorites but not known to occur naturally on earth. For years, I was pretty sure it was a winner. Bit by bit, my suspicions grew ( in sync with slowly growing meteorite knowledge--). Skipping to the conclusion, I am now sure it is industrial slag. The next very good meteorwrong came at a gold show. A gold dredger had found a bunch of metal fragments in the Clackamas river in Oregon and was selling them by the piece. He assured me that the main mass had been given to the Smithsonian. I was teaching at the community college level at the time, and wanted some pieces to pass around. I sorted through the pile and picked out a couple with nice rounded shoulders with molten spatters down the sides. They still look really good! And lots of people still remember them as the first piece of deep space/deep time that they have ever held in their hands. I'm now sure that they are also slag. Don't assume your professor knows meteorites from bat guano! Finally, I had gotten going on tektites and hit the big Tucson show. I knew Eric Olsen from emails, and got to meet him. I asked him to recommend a good stony meteorite to help me calibrate my eye, and he sold me a fine little fully crusted Gao, which I still have, my first meteorRight! I bought a bunch more NWAs on that trip, and on the strength of those calibration tools, I finally found my first for sure, no doubt about it meteorite.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question: Just How ...?
Hello Robert and all, Interesting topic. Like Norm, I'm also a geologist and have been consulting for about 20 years now. Every once in a while someone would bring in the family Rock, ...that treasure they had carried from place to place over the years because they knew it was valuable. Back in 1997, someone brought in a large wind/water sculpted sandstone (complete with crossbedding) wanting me to confirm it was a valuable meteorite. I hadn't seen any meteorites in person at that time, but knew right away this wasn't one. Anyway, I decided that I'd better see if I could buy a meteorite on ebay to better educate myself should one of those valuable family rocks actually be a meteorite. I purchased about a 100 gram Sikhote Alin from Jim Strope and also purchased a copy of Rocks from Space. Still have both. Then I discovered stoney meteorites, so purchased a small Gao, and then a tektite...then a small Millbillillie (needed an achondrite of course), how about a stoney iron, better get a small Vaca Muerta slice...and on..and on... Guess now I'm really addicted...

Gary, I think that if you had paid your dues to the meteorite community, like Jim and Paul have, no one would have acted out against you. Both of these men are as good as you will ever find anywhere and I'm offended by your attitude and insinuation. If you want to endear yourself to the Meteorite List why don't you take some of the bad guys to task. Railing on Jim and Paul will only get you grief. John At 09:33 AM 3/15/2007, Gary K.

Re: [meteorite-list] Gao, Gao Gao
The Gao -melt (H imb) is a wonderful meteorite to look at. Here's a picture of a half stone owned by Keith Vazquez. http://www.meteoriteimpact.com/gaomelt.htm Best, John Gwilliam At 10:30 AM 3/15/2007, Zelimir Gabelica wrote: Hello Bernd, list, Bernd, thanks much for your wise thoughts and advices. Gao is indeed a very popular meteorite, probably because it is as showy as abundant in weight and (different) shapes. I can understand Steve's falling in love for these. I also second your suggestion, namely that Steve should do more to valorize his Gao collection. This brings me to a question that is probably puzzling most of us since a while. You might not ignore that besides our old good friend Gao (H5) (that actually carries the official name Gao-Guenié), there are 2 other Gaos (or Gao-Guéniés): 1) Gao(b) that is a CR (S1), found by Eric Twelker in a parcel full of normal Gaos sent to him from Burkina Faso. The 2 small stones he got weighed 344 g (Bernd, by the way, a slice of that stuff is just outstanding! I bet you also got one See Eric's site: there are 2 pieces left!) 2) The Gao-melt (H imb) described and put for sale by Eric Olson. This stuff is definitely far different from Gao (H5) in that, when cut, this almost black meteorite shows melts and rivers just as Portales or others. Definitely a weird stuff. See pictures on Eric's site. E. Olson is reporting a tkw of 570+ grams. However, I got a few years ago 3 such Gao-melt individuals from a quite different source (directly from Burkina, not from Eric's source) that are exactly the same. They already showed a weird outline when complete (uncut). Once cut, not only they showed the strange metled parts but also huge vugs, some of which reaching 20+ mm !! E. Olson is anouncing on his site since a time that these are under study. Did someone got more recent news ? Note: my source confirmed thet Gao imb and Gao (H5) are (still being) found on the unique strewnfield. To my knowledge, nothing is known about the place where Gao(b) was found... I suggest Steve starts inquiring about these other 2 Gaos and perhaps envisages to extend his collection to Gao, Gao and Gao. By the way, here are the tkw's I have in my archives: Gao-Guénié (H5): [EMAIL PROTECTED] kg Gao-Guénié (H imb): [EMAIL PROTECTED] g (Olson's site) Gao-Guénié (b) (CR)): 2@@344 g (Twelker's site) Could someone (along with the two Erics) provide an update for these figures ?

The next step in his obsession -- head for the strewn field. Hello Steve and List, First off: I must also admit that this is becoming a very impressive, an awesome collection of Gao meteorites! Sincere congratulations! The next best step after displaying them for all of us to see, would or could now be to study them, to compare them, to look at their respective fusion crusts, to describe their individual characteristics, to do a little research on their different degrees of weathering (and maybe even shock stage[s]), the thickness or thinness of their fusion crusts, and so much more and then share your observations with the List. This would give them a life. Of course, you might also consider constructing a special Gao info page: dates of fall / find, classification, history, repositories, strewn field parameters, scientific papers / articles, and, and, and, ... The next step in his obsession -- head for the strewn field. .. Well, why not!? Gao instead of London if the risks involved are not too high! He would surely come back with some personal finds or purchases. Such specimens have an even higher, personal value!
